" 1 REVOLVER-LOADI DEVICE.

Application filed November 26, 1924. Serial No. 752,329. I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY F. F. WILSON,

" j a; citizen of the United States, residing at I 11 l and State of New York, have invented cer tairinew and useful Improvements in Revol-j' Y yer-Loading Devices, of which the following New Rochelle, in the countyof 'WGStOhGStI-B' is a specification. c j v My invention-relates to a pistol reloading device andone of the-objects of the inven- 7 tion is to provide a device whereby "the I chambers in the'cylinderof a revolver may be ,quickly loaded with cartridges, and the reloading operation repeated several times.

Another object of the, invention is to provide a suitable means for supporting the loading pack in a convenient position for use. 7

f c I r i With these' and other objects in view, my 7 invention consists in certain novel andpe'culiar features of construction andcombination of parts, as will be more fully described and particularly pointed-out in the claims;

" Fig l is' an elevation showing theloading p'ack-in-position for use; 7

V- V 5's, Fig.2 is a longitudinal section tl roug-h I the cylinder of the revolver and the loading pa k;

Y line 3-3 of'Fig. 2; and

V The loading pack or carrier 1 comprises I an outer casing f such length as to contain several superposed clips of cartridges 3. The

0., The 'clipi a ring or ultan maera1,

having openings 5 for receiving the heads f the cartridges 7 When in position, theheads'of the cartridges lie vflush. With the 'top' of the clip. Between the cartridges, the clip is provided with inwardly projecting portions 8 for afpurpose to be hereinafter 'specified.- 7 j The casing 2 is provided with ahead j' 2 piece 2 hichis grooved at 9 to fit a comple j mentaryshaped spring clip'lO secured to the. I

waist line belt 11 sothat the casing will be normally Worn in an inclined position, so as a to facilitatequick loading. I v r? 13 engages 'a slot 15' for limiting the: relatlve movement {of the said plunger Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the,

Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view of Fig.

the tubular guide member 12 and sliding telescopically therein is thdplunger .13,'. i i coil spring 14 beinginterposed between the f member 12 and the :plunger 13, so as to I i keep the said plunger normally in extended position, A pin 15 carried by the plunger and member. Secured near the lowerend of the plunger '13 are a pair of bowed leaf springs 16 and resting oil the bowed portion 17 of the said springs are the projecting portions 8 of the cartridge clips 3.

Slidably mounted in the casing 2 is .a

block of lead 18 which rests in contact with v the uppermost clip of cartridges. g The cas ng'having been loaded iwith the" severalclips of superposed cartridges, "the 'lowermostvchp Wm beheld in osition by VI" 7 i the springs 16, as shownin Fig. 2. When it desired to load the revolver 1'9,the 7 cylinder 20 1s swung into position so that the a head 21 ofthe plunger 13 will engagethe the plunger 13 will telescope into the guide member 12 and the leaf springs 16 will ride central pin 2270f the cylinder 20. By pull ing back the revolver towards the casing,

by the lowermost clip 0f cartridges,-: thereby J releasing them fromthe casing, whereupon they will drop into the chamberof. the revolver. Due tot-he weight of the lead block.

theremaining' clips will be fed forward V t the front end of thercasing. In the subsew quent loading operations, the remaining clips of cartridges willjbeheld against up-' 'ward movement by the weight of the lead block asthe plunger '13 moves upward.

'- I claim;

1; A loading pack for revolvers compris-A ing a casing, means for supporting a clip of cartridges therein, and means for releasing the said clip by engagement with thecylin-,

der of the revolver.

2. A loading pack for revolvers compris if i ing a casing, means for supporting a plural- I ity of clips of cartridges therein and; means for releasing a single clip of cartridges at:

"one time by engagement with the cylinder of a revolver. r

3. A loadingpaok forrevolvers compris ing a casing, superposed clips of cartridges.

therein, a reciprocating plunger in the cas Secured centrally to the'head isl i a members carried by the plunger for engaging a clip of cartridges, and means for disengaging the spring members from the clip, by engagement of the plunger with the cylinder of a revolver.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

MARY F; F. WILSON.
